We're on a new software platform, having moved to XenForo, one of the most popular and modern discussion forum platforms today.

A large amount of work is still required (like bringing the charts back!), but there's a stack of new features to be discovered.

Changes are coming to Silver Stackers. The forum has been running on essentially the same forum software version for close to 7 years, and is desperately in need of an overhaul to introduce "modern" forum features, and to combat the ceaseless waves of spammers that are able to penetrate the outdated spam protection on the current software platform.

To that end I've been working on and off on a new version of the site using Xenforo, and it's getting closer to launch. Entirely new...

The trading threads on Silver Stackers present an unparalleled opportunity to buy, swap and sell bullion of any value at no cost to either the buy or seller. Please respect the integrity of the trading forums by limiting posts in trading threads to genuine enquiries only.

Kaz,
Words of comfort will be felt in time, our deepest thoughts are with you.
We are all thinking of you.

Emma wishes to advise you that she passed at 3.55 29th December, peacefully, in the arms of her loving mother. She also advises that there will be a gathering soon, but that has to be worked out yet. She wishes you to know that she would love to have you come.

Thank you, Emma and Karyn.

At this stage Silver Stackers is subject to an ongoing Chinese Bittorrent DOS attack. Basically a Chinese ISP trying to block torrents by DNS spoofing the trackers with a random IP address - and someone has decided that Silver Stackers was due to receive a bazillion unwanted requests to stop the locals from watching downloads of Fifty Shades of Grey. Mitigation efforts are underway, however this is likely to be a sustained attack for a while. Additional mitigation...

Due to the remote hosting nature of the forum in a datacentre, it was more prudent to immediately delete some of the member uploaded images rather than try to save them permanently - the 500 largest uploaded files (all over 1MB ea) were trimmed from the server, and subsequently service has been restored.

Sponsor banner ads are now also displaying in 2 sizes - if your browser is wide enough, the banner will scale to 728px wide instead of 468px. The Google ads were somewhat overshadowing the sponsor banners, so they've been scaled up and the Google ads scaled down.
